Make sure you have ImageMagick turned OFF in yourphoto.pl(see below settings)# Use ImageMagick to resize all uploaded
# puctures/images uploaded by users to
# no larger than 400 X 400 (works with .gif images only)
# If your hosting server has ImageMagick Installed
# then you can trun this 'on' below,
# if not leave this turned 'off'
# If your hosting server has ImageMagick Installed turn this to 'on'
$config{'ImageMagick'} = 'off';
# and uncomment the below line
#use Image::Magick;

500 x 500 would be a good optimal size, but the actual setting calls for a size in KB. I would think that 250KB a pic would do, so for four possible pics that would equal 4 x 250KB = 1,000Kb. To be on the safe side I would increase your LIMIT to 1,500KB.
Which needs to be plugged in below:
# MAX Kb. What ever number you place here is
# the max file size in KB a user can upload
# or if more then one image is uploaded
# then this is the total images uploaded size.
$config{'limit'} = 1500;
Note: I will also say even with these settings, I have people from time to time that try to use pic(s) that haven't been resized and go over the limit and will not upload. Your users need to realize that they cannot use pics that are HUGH and must have the ability to resize said pics themselves. These settings will not automatically resize pics for them. You may also want to change the stated image size recommendations (example: 200 x 200) and change to (500 x 500) that appear in several different files.
Good Luck
